How are pelvic tumors treated?

Pelvic tumor is a tumor disease unique to women, which is also divided into benign and malignant. Benign tumors do not need treatment if there are no special symptoms and discomfort. Benign tumors account for the majority. Malignant tumors usually have a long interval before diagnosis. Once confirmed, surgical treatment is required. The cure rate of early treatment is very high. Women must take care of their bodies. If symptoms such as menstrual bleeding or lower abdominal pain occur, they should be examined to confirm the cause.

The main manifestation is a pelvic mass. Ovarian tumors are the most common, among which malignant ovarian tumors account for 3.7%, which is lower than the reported 10%. In addition to the history of pelvic mass, they are accompanied by lower abdominal distension, significantly elevated CA125, and B-ultrasound shows substantial or mixed mass. Endometriosis-like cysts account for the second largest proportion. About 20% of the cases have a history of dysmenorrhea, 1/3 of the cases have menstrual disorders, manifested by delayed menstruation and continuous bleeding. A small number of cases have no obvious symptoms, occasionally with lower abdominal distension, etc. B shows that most cases show no echo areas, some have mixed echoes, thick and irregular capsules, more on both sides, and slightly elevated CA125. Chronic pelvic inflammatory masses ranked third, accounting for 16.48%, most of which were chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases. The main reasons were that the acute symptoms were not serious and were ignored and not treated, and the acute phase was not completely cured and the disease was delayed.

Clinicopathological features of primary pelvic tumors

Based on the organization and embryogenesis of the tumor, it is divided into four basic types: (1) mesenchymal tumors; (2) urogenital tumors; (3) neurogenic tumors; and (4) germ cell tumors. Approximately 10% of tumors cannot be classified. The most common tumors originate from the pelvic extraperitoneum, the most common of which are mesenchymal tumors, followed by tumors derived from embryonic remnants. Tumors mostly appear as solid soft tissue masses, but they may undergo degeneration, necrosis, cystic changes, and calcification.

Pelvic Tumor Treatment

Freezing method

The available methods for cryosurgery of pelvic malignancies are:

During surgery, the frozen tumor is either removed or not removed, or the entire organ is removed after freezing.

Percutaneous cryosurgery is usually performed under ultrasound, CT, or MRI guidance. The preferred freezing equipment is the argon-helium freezing system. Depending on the size of the tumor, one or more freezing probes are inserted and two cycles of freezing and thawing are performed. The ice ball must cover the entire tumor and at least 0.5-1.0 cm of normal tissue around it.

Dietary conditioning for pelvic tumors

Patients with pelvic tumors should pay attention to diet and strengthen nutrition. During the fever period, it is advisable to eat light and easily digestible food. Patients with high fever and loss of body fluid can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc. to drink, but it should not be iced. Patients with yellow, heavy and thick leucorrhea have damp-heat syndrome and should avoid fried, greasy and spicy foods. Patients with cold pain in the lower abdomen, fear of cold, and back pain belong to the cold stagnation and qi stagnation type. They can be given warm foods such as ginger soup, brown sugar water, and cinnamon pulp. People who suffer from fever in the five parts of their body and lower back pain mostly suffer from kidney yin deficiency. They can eat meat, eggs and other blood and living things to nourish and strengthen their body.
